History: Nick Lewis Jr., son of the
original Crime-Master, met Janice Foswell in Europe, and fell in
love with her. However, neither one informed the other that they
intended to don their father's identity to gain revenge upon
Spider-Man.

(Marvel Team-Up I#39)- In the middle of the
fight between Human Torch, Spider-Man and Big Man and his
gangsters, Sandman and Crime-Master arrived and stopped the fight
by pointing a gun at Big Man.

(Marvel Team-Up I#40)- The fight begans again,
as Crime-Master shouted: "soon there will be none who will
doubt that it is the Crime-Master who is the lord of the
underworld!" After Spider-Man and Human Torch were defeated,
Crime-Master began a quarrel with Big Man over who got
Spider-Man. They decided to leave it up to the other gangsters to
decide, but before they could reach a decision, the Sons of the
Tiger arrived to save the heroes. The criminals managed to escape
when Crime-Master threw a gas bomb.

The heroes went outside, but the criminals were
gone. Spider-Man looked for them, and later he discovered them
all climbing out of an open man-hole in an alley. The criminals
went back to the warehouse where the Tigers were, and Sandman
defeated them. Crime-Master was tired of Big Man’s orders,
and decided to shoot his enemy. Suddenly Spider-Man arrived, and
freed the Tigers, who then helped Spider-Man to finally defeat
the criminals. After they were defeated, Spider-Man pulled the
mask off the Crime-Master and the dead Big Man, revealing that
Big Man was actually a woman. Crime-Master told them that she was
Janice, and was the woman he loved, the daughter of the original
Big Man, Frederick Foswell, and she just couldn’t be dead
(though he's the one that shot her). The Crime-Master identified
himself as Nick Lewis Jr., son of the original Crime-Master.
Inconsolable, the heroes left him for the police.

You'd think that since he knew she was the
daughter of the original Big Man, and he was in love with her,
he'd be a little smarter than to shoot someone named BIg Man
without checking who it was first.
